Pros:

None

Cons:

- Contains sodium lauryl sulphate
- Over prolonged use it will strip the skin and actually cause dryness.

I used this cream for many years, as it was recommend by my GP. My skin was getting increasingly dry during this time however, so I naturally kept on putting more on. Then i saw an article in the newspaper that said it was bad, and stopped using it. My skin has now gone back to normal. Scientists at Bath University found that aqueous cream thinned the skin after a few weeks of use. This is because it contains a detergent rather than just moisturisers. Professor Richard Guy said: "Our study has found that rubbing aqueous cream into the skin thins this protective barrier, making the skin more susceptible to irritation by chemicals. "So to use this cream on eczematous skin, which is already thin and vulnerable to irritation, is likely to make the condition even worse."
